Product Description:
The Cabot Cove residents are pulling out all the stops for their celebration of the 4th of July this year. But amidst the pleasures of planning the big event, there is tension too. Joseph Lennon, a very successful businessman, has recently relocated to Cabot Cave and is funding a big fireworks show and rock concert. There are many in town who don't like him throwing his wealth and power around to get things done his way. When Mr. Lennon's body is found the evening of the fireworks show, Jessica has a long list of potential suspects.

I never saw a single TV episode of the Murder She Wrote series, nor had I read any of the other books before this one. Thus, I came to this novel with no pre-conceived notions. And in a word, I found this book to be anateurish.
The plot is padded and repetitive. Extraneous information and details abound. The reader is just halfway through the book before a murder occurs. A setup chapter or two may be needed, but not half a book. The good mystery novel is tightly written, with everything designed to move the plot forward. Alas, not here.
The writing is wooden, both the exposition and the dialogue. In real conversations, people seldom refer to the other party by very first name, for example.
The atmosphere of a small coastal town in Maine is more than a bit hazy. That is, it never took me there. Well written books make the reader feels as if he could find his way around if he were dropped off in the book's setting.
Above all, a novel has to be convincing, and I wasn't at all convinced.

This is only my 4th or 5th book in this series and I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. Although the books all start out with a murder, you won't be reading the graphic "blood and gore" that is so popular with a lot of today's fiction. (That is NOT to say I don't enjoy the more graphic murder mysteries) You will also not be reading page after page of sex. The authors have a delightful cast of characters and the town of Cabot Cove seems like the ideal town in which to live or visit. You can get comfortable, and just "cozy on up" with these books. They can be easily be read in an afternoon or evening. Grab that cup of tea or glass of wine. Perfect for traveling. By the time the plane lands, you will know "whodunnit."

Takes you back to old Sunday night TV. Cabot Cove and Jessica Fletcher team up for fun and mystery. She does great description of the many places she visits. This was in the good days of TV when sex and terrorism and blood were not so graphic and you could relax with hometown characters

I've read all of the Murder She Wrote series and expecially liked this one set in Cabot Cove. Always enjoy jessica's interaction with Sheriff Mort Metzger & Doc Seth Hazlitt in solving a crime. Looking forwrd to the subsequent book. Keep them coming.

This is my second Murder She Wrote. She doesn't disappoints. I enjoyed the return of Amos as as always in Cabot Cove just about anything can happen. This is a nice read. It has intrigue and suspense.
